Old Madam Chu raised her eyebrows and seemed to be a little dissatisfied. “Why?”
Chu Mo was also shocked. He did not know why Ye Jiu would make such a request.
Ye Jiu smiled. “Orchids are special and delicate. If we change their environment rashly, it might affect the growth of the orchids…”
“Why don’t you let me come to Grandma’s place to take care of it every day?” Ye Jiu asked Old Madam Chu with a big smile on her face.
When Old Madam Chu heard that, the expression on her face relaxed.
Then, she smiled and said, “That’s good too! If it really moved away, I might even feel sorry for it!”
When he saw Old Madam Chu say what was on her mind, Chu Mo’s heart immediately relaxed.
“Since Grandma doesn’t mind the noise, let Litttle Jiu come here to take care of the orchids!” Chu Mo said with a smile, “It’s also good to talk to Grandma.”
Old Madam Chu nodded and said, “It’s decided then!”
“It’s late! I’m tired too… I should go back!” Old Madam Chu said and stood up.
Sun Jing and Wanxiang walked to Old Madam Chu’s side.
“Good night, Grandma!” Chu Mo and Ye Jiu said goodbye to Old Madam Chu respectively and watched Old Madam Chu leave with the help of Sun Jing and Ye Jiu.
When they returned to the front yard of the main house, Chu Mo still held Ye Jiu’s hand and walked quietly into the garden.
Ye Jiu did not refuse. She just let Chu Mo hold her hand and walked all the way to the bottom of the parasol tree.
The sky was already dark. The servants returned to their residences after they were done with their chores.
Occasionally, a few servants would pass by the garden. When they saw Chu Mo and Ye Jiu standing under the parasol tree, they left in a hurry.
Chu Mo held Ye Jiu’s hand and said, “Don’t work too hard these few days…”
Ye Jiu shook her head and smiled. “I won’t! I’m very happy!”
Chu Mo faced Ye Jiu to him and placed his hands on her shoulders. “I’m… very happy…”
Ye Jiu smiled and placed her hands on Chu Mo’s forearms. “I’m very happy too!”
Chu Mo did not know how to describe his feelings.
Recently, Ye Jiu had made him feel strange yet familiar…
She was still the same Ye Jiu, but the feeling was completely different…
The two of them stood quietly under the parasol tree for a long time…
On the corridor outside the flower garden not far away, Lin Ying’s hand was tightly clenched on the railing.
She stared at Ye Jiu viciously and gritted her teeth.
…
The next day, Sun Jing did not bring Ye Jiu to fix her appearance.
Instead, she let Ye Jiu to familiarise herself with the procedures of the Chu family’s anniversary party.
For Ye Jiu, the process of familiarising herself with the procedures was the only way for her to see how powerful Sun Jing was.
Sun Jing listed out every detail, node, and thing that needed to be paid attention to.
It was so detailed that Ye Jiu could become the best hostess of the banquet with this piece of paper without even needing to explain!
Sun Jing explained every detail to Ye Jiu and observed her reaction.
Ye Jiu listened very carefully…
It was obvious that she really wanted to perform well at the banquet!
Sun Jing, who was initially on guard, was finally relieved.
The two of them communicated with each other about the details of the party and marked some parts that were not suitable for Ye Jiu.
“I will communicate with the person-in-charge about these parts,” Sun Jing said calmly.
Ye Jiu looked at Sun Jing gratefully. “Thank you, Auntie Sun!”
Although it was just some minor details, Sun Jing made some adjustments to fit Ye Jiu’s habits.
After settling the details with Sun Jing, Ye Jiu followed Sun Jing to Old Madam Chu’s room.
Old Madam Chu was reading a booklet.
Sun Jing greeted Ye Jiu and walked in.
Old Madam Zhu waved her hand and let the two of them sit down.
“Come and take a look. What should I bid on at the charity auction?” Old Madam Chu looked at the booklet in her hand and felt a little awkward.
Sun Jing took the booklet and handed it to Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu carefully flipped through the booklet.
Every year, the Chu family’s anniversary party would hold a charity auction.
Everyone who attended the party would participate in the charity auction.
The money raised in the charity auction would be used for various purposes with different themes each year.
“This year, the theme is autistic children…” Old Madam Chu sighed and said, “How pitiful are these sick children!”
“It’s been a long time since the Chu family has had a child…” Old Madam Chu said as she glanced at Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu was still focused on the booklet in her hand. She did not pay attention to what old Madam Chu said and only responded.
When Old Madam Chu saw that Ye Jiu did not have any reaction, she felt a little bored.
Sun Jing looked at Old Madam Chu’s unwilling expression and then looked at Ye Jiu who was focused on the booklet.
“Old Madam, what do you think of this pair of bracelets?” Ye Jiu asked as she pointed at a pair of bracelets in the booklet that were engraved with the words “Live a long life”.
The bracelets were made of pure gold and there were a few gems embedded on them. They did not look luxurious, but they seemed to be very old.
Old Madam Chu looked over when she heard that and immediately sighed. “Sigh, this was originally meant for Chu Xi…”
“Forget it! Just this pair of bracelets!” Old Madam Chu seemed to think that leaving the bracelets behind would only spoil her mood.
